Oh my goodness Jodi...this quilt is amazing! And I love your method...this will get me to start sewing selvedges...I just love how you use the interfacing and press first...I must go buy some interfacing!!!

I have a huge bag of selvages, and I've been looking for the perfect quilt block to use them with. You have created my answer! Love the tutorial that makes things look so easy. (Now if I just had the time to work on them)

Ok, jodi, sew you are kind of quilting as you do each piece right? and you add scraps with the selvages...mmmm ok...and funny enough these pieces I did keep..I do have quite a few of these...and guess what...? I have tons of interfacing lol..love yours...simply irresistable

WOW, what a wonderful quilt!! And you can't believe it's made out of pieces of fabrics others would throw away!!! Your quilt represents my saying: as a patchworker you cannot throw away any scrap, you can use them all!! You have done a great work!! Best greetings and keep gathering on!Regina from Germany

What a great idea! It's always painful for me to throw any fabric scraps away, it's like throwing money away. Just think if I would have kept all my selvages over the years. I could have made something beautiful from them.Thank you for the great tutorial.More more selvages and scraps in the trash!

I think my eyes just about popped out of my head when I seen this. And I very well may be having heart palpatations. It's beautiful. I absolutely adore it. I also love the idea of using interfacing.

I also want to say thank-you for sharing so many scrappy projects. I too have been hard at work/pleasure. It was been a great relief during this semester to be able to work on a project with limited thinking. If you would like to see the project that I have been working on please check out my blog. Thanks again for all you share and keeping me motivated and creative.

Your idea with the fusible has completely inspired me to do something with my selvages!! And I can see from your photos that I need to give myself a little more fabric when I cut off my selvages....Thanks s0 much for the tips~your quilt is STUNNING! ♥ Eileen

SHAZAM!!! I'm impressed! Seriously impressed - your selvedge quilt is amazing...and really, too wonderful to keep all to yourself so I think you should have a giveaway and give it to the first person who used the word SHAZAM W to describe it...good idea, no? xo, Nan

Hi jodi..I get it now...ok...it is just for stabilizing it...well I am just telling you sweetie..it is a clever idea...and I may have to make one meself...or at least get onestarted...( responding here since hotmail is not allowing us here in our area to respond directly...)

Absolutely BRILLIANT! You make it look so EASY! Im a blogging newbie and JUST FOUND YOU! Im CRAZY about your site! I have an Interior Design business and blog...I am doing 14 days of xmas trees and would LOVE it if you could stop by and visit! And if you feel like it, COMMENT! DUDE! You have 58 comments!!! WHAT IS THAT?! Im lucky to have 3..LOL!I also have a GIVEAWAY!!

NO WAY! I have seen the selvedge edge cosmetic bags, but nothing SO FABULOUS as an entire quilt! Would you consider linking this over at Tell Me Tuesday on Vintage Pollyanna? I'd love to have you! Thanks for linking up to my new party at Vintage Pollyanna! http://vintagepollyanna.blogspot.com/2010/11/tell-me-tuesday-link-party-1.html

It is so adorable. I've never seen one before. You did a great job making every selvage look straight and perfect. I can see why it's your favorite. Thanks for showing us. I love the technique and never would have thought of it on my own.

Yes I am. This quilt is spectacular and what a novel way to use the selvages. From now on, I'm keeping a bucket handy and throwing them into it instead of throwing them out. The interfacing is a great idea.

Love your easier approach! So if I'm not mistaken you are still going to do all 3 layers and ... quilt again? Or are you just going to quilt the minimum required by the batting? ...hmmm I wonder if you could just join the blocks at the fused state and then do the quilting on top of all 3 layers in whatever pattern you want, I wonder how the layers would act... I'll have to go play with that thought!

Oh Jodi! this is just soooo cute! I LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing the tutorial as well. You amaze me with all your creativity!! This has to be on my "to-do" list for one day. :) One question...about how much do you cut off with the selvedge? I have a bag full but I may not have cut them wide enough. :(

Why oh why have I thrown away my selvedges? I'm kicking myself right now - your quilt and all the projects you've shown are SO COOL. I'm going to start saving them now. Thanks for the inspiration. ~Ann

OMG! OMG! OMG! I am totally in love with this quilt. I have a huge bin of selvages just waiting for a project. Do you have any of my Dear Dorothy selvages? Instead of color dots, they have hearts. I could send you some if you're still working on this.

Wow! This looks amazing! I'm a novice sewer, but I never would have thought to save the selvedged edges, let alone, make a quilt from them! Thanks for commenting on my blog post...through your comment I was able to find your wonderful blog...I'll be dropping by often!

I just love this quilt! I've been quilting for years and have seen something like this one time, but never know how it was put together. I love all your step to step instructions. I know what my next project is now!:) Thanks for sharing your creativity and techniques!

LOVE it! Thank you for sharing your technique, too. Selvages are fun to work with. I have made two smaller quilts, similar to what you make, and have now started on a spiderweb version. Like you say, it is a lot of fun!; )
